How to Massage for Cervical Pain

Commonly known as cervicalgia, the pain in the cervical area that appears in the back (above and on the sides), is usually due to an incorrect posture, forced or maintained for a long time; even inappropriate repetitive gestures in the neck area. It is a pain that, at times, can be very bothersome and can even lead us to not carry out our daily life normally.

Most people suffer from neck pain due to extended hours spent working in front of computers with bad posture. We don’t sit properly in our office chairs, such as sitting with arched backs and strained necks, often leads to discomfort. And we spend up to 8 hours like this. Then we come home and can’t stop looking at our phones, which also forces us to strain our necks downwards. And in bed, if we don’t have the right pillow, our necks will feel it.

They may seem like harmless gestures, but repeating them throughout the day can cause neck and back pain. How can we solve these effects? At Spa Restoration Center we give you some tips to avoid neck pain.

Massages for cervical pain

At this stage, relaxing massages are an effective way to alleviate neck pain. By targeting the affected area these massages serve as a natural painkiller and help reduce muscle tension. We recommend that you come at least once a week, so you can relax the area and strengthen it for better long-term results. In addition to massages, at Spa Restoration Center we also help you correct bad posture when sitting; correct postural hygiene will be key to avoiding future neck and back pain.

A little heat on the affected area will also help us to soothe the pain at home. But, as we say, a relaxing neck massage once a week will help you feel better. Learn about its benefits:

• It soothes pain and reduces inflammation.
• Avoid deformities in the affected area.
• Strengthens and increases muscle strength throughout the area.
• Relaxes the area where stress accumulates the most.
• It helps you correct poor posture of your back and neck.

When we are stressed or have a heightened state of alertness, it manifests itself in pain. This tension can lead to more serious problems, such as the inability to move the affected area.  To avoid the situation before it gets worse, it must be prevented, and the best way is through relaxing massages. If we notice that the cervical area is very tense, or we feel dizzy or light-headed, it is best to go to your doctor or massage therapist as soon as possible to relieve the pain and avoid unnecessary risks.
